    • Medal of Honor. The Medal of Honor is the highest and most coveted military decoration the U.S. government can bestow on a member of the Armed Forces. Presented by the president in the name of Congress, there are three distinct variations: one for the Air Force, one for the Army, and one for the Coast Guard, Marine Corps, and Navy.
    • Distinguished Service Cross. The Distinguished Service Cross is the second-highest honor that can be awarded to a member of the Army. It recognizes heroism in combat that is extraordinary enough to rise above the requirements for all other medals save the Medal of Honor.
    • Navy Cross. Like the Distinguished Service Cross, the Navy Cross recognizes heroism of such a high degree that it supersedes all medals except the Medal of Honor.
    • Coast Guard Cross. The Coast Guard Cross is awarded for extraordinary heroism in combat. The second-highest honor a member of the Coast Guard can receive beyond only the Medal of Honor, it is awarded to members who serve in any capacity with the Coast Guard when the Coast Guard is not operating under Navy command.

    • Air Force Cross (2nd Highest in the Air Force) When the Air Force became a separate entity, this award was established for personnel that showed extraordinary heroism in combat.
    • Navy Cross (2nd Highest in the Navy) The Navy Cross is given for extraordinary heroism in combat, in which Medal of Honor merits are not reached. Since 1942, this medal has been awarded to service members of the Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard at an elevated status just below the Medal of Honor.
    • Distinguished Service Cross (2nd Highest in the Army) This medal is the second-highest award bestowed by the U.S. Army. It is given for valor and heroism in combat, but below the Medal of Honor.
